This is what I use. Its kinda geto but gets the job done. I bought it for west marine I believe it's for a Yamaha outboard I took it apart and bent it to fit better I also had to rivit the back of it to stop some of the water from leaking

There are several people here running Alpha SS's that can help you.

One is Ryan00TJ: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/m.../ryan00tj.html

and another is TdaddyXLT. I'm not sure if he uses the same name here on OSO.

I have an SS in my office at work. But since I can't flush it with it not connected to anything, I probably can't hwlp you further. LOL.

If I recall correctly I think the SS was out to market by Mercruiser from 1986 thru 1989 and I only have seen maybe a handful in my day to current. it has been back years ago since I worked on them so IF I remember correctly back when we did have to run the SS on the water hose we used the water flushette for nose cones from Bob Machine shop.


Mercruiser has one also.

I made something like inlinepwr has... it works and cost 20 bucks. Oh, and make sure that the vents on the sides are sealed up good... otherwise you'll be sucking air.... those o rings are probably dry rotted and no longer sealing. When I ran it on the hose and didnt have new o-rings I would have to tape up the vents so I had suction for the water pickup.
